\description{
Randomly select a few elements of an object, typically a data frame,
matrix, vector, or list. If the object is a data frame or a matrix,
then rows are sampled.
}
\usage{
some(x, ...)
\method{some}{data.frame}(x, n=10, cols=NULL, ...)
\method{some}{matrix}(x, n=10, cols=NULL, ...)
\method{some}{default}(x, n=10, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{the object to be sampled.}
\item{n}{number of elements to sample.}
\item{cols}{if \code{NULL}, use all columns, if a vector of column names or numbers, use only the columns indicated}
\item{\dots}{arguments passed down.}
